THIS PROJECT IS IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. It's not ready for general use but will be soon.

Build Status

CIDER-SPY has a Multi-Person REPL! Simply install CIDER-SPY to share you REPL with other developers. With CIDER-SPY you can also get visibility on CIDER nREPL sessions and help developers in teams to share information.

Use CIDER-SPY to send code snippets and text exchanges to each other etc, as well as EMACS bookmarks.

See a recent screencast.

Installation

Prerequisites

You need the CIDER-SPY-NREPL middleware. See installation instructions there.

Basic configuration

It's available on melpa:

M-x package-install cider-spy

You can also install the dependencies on your own, and just dump clj-refactor in your path somewhere:

Setup

(require 'cider-spy)

All actions in CIDER-SPY are triggered from the CIDER-SPY summary page. To access the summary page:

M-x cider-spy-summary

It can be useful to setup a global binding for the summary page for frequent access, such as C-c C-s.

Setup paredit to work with cider-spy-multi-repl-mode:

(add-hook 'cider-spy-multi-repl-mode 'enable-paredit-mode)

Configuration for the HUB

If you want the developer interactivity behavours then you need a run a CIDER-SPY-HUB. See the documentation for how to set one up.

Background

This originally started life as a tool to help users learn about their own REPL behavour, and to function as an uber smart project navigation tool.

Since then it's morphed into being a tool to help developers share information, and to be a Multi-REPL.

Credits

Thanks to Magnars because unknown to him I used a lot of magit patterns and copied the clj-refactor build setup. Thanks also to Bozhidar Batsov and the rest of the CIDER team.
